1/1/17 CDS Compliance Mandate

Legislation requires clinical decision support (CDS) systems to be in place by 1/1/17. By this date, physicians must use CDS and obtain an appropriateness score prior to ordering an advanced radiologic scan. Non-compliance means Medicare reimbursement will not happen. Where do you start? It’s easy.

WHY?

Our Mission: Total Protocol Control

Protocols are the building blocks of radiology
performance. When scans are done right the first
time, everyone wins. Patients do better. Providers do
better. Time is saved and resources conserved.

Your Challenge

Radiologists, clinicians and technologists need to communicate
efficiently and follow established guidelines.
Productivity, quality, reimbursement and patient
outcomes depend on it. Where do you start? It’s easy.
Total protocol control.
